Blanket Boxes at Myakka

I’m always drawn to pretty or unusual boxes and chests when browsing in antique or home furnishings shops.  It can be difficult though to find reasonably priced items that combine quality with ethical concerns.  So I was very pleased to stumble across Myakka with their ranges of furniture from a single fair trade supplier in [...]

Hearts for your Valentine

Valentine’s Day will soon be upon us and it’s worth organising your gifts now.  Hearts are the traditional symbol of love and there are some beautifully designed items out there that would make welcome gifts. This Silver & Recycled Aluminium “Fronds” Heart from Anna Clifton Jewellery caught my eye.  It’s hand-made with a sterling silver [...]

Tiles for your Home

At this time of year you might be thinking about home improvement projects for the coming 12 months.  Kitchen and bathroom are top of my wishlist and they may need to remain there, but that hasn’t stopped me window shopping.  Susie Watson Designs have some lovely tiles that are a little bit different from the [...]

Reclaimed Furniture from Idyll Home

I recently discovered Idyll Home who search out some very stylish, ethical and environmentally friendly products.  They have some wonderful furniture made from reclaimed wood. The simplicity of this side table is really appealing. Made from reclaimed old elm wood (after all new elm wood is a rarity these days) and an iron base, these [...]

In Hot Water

A hot water bottle with a cover keeps you cosy and warm at night without a risk of burning.  I’m a fan of this stylish Hand knitted Hottie from Swings and Other Pretty Things. The cover is hand knitted from undyed, unbleached wool and the bottle itself is recyclable. I love the chunky, rustic look [...]

Colourful Duvet Covers

I’ve been looking around for some new duvet covers, but I’ve been a bit frustrated by the range available in environmentally friendly fabrics.  All too often it’s a choice between white and cream plain covers and I prefer more colour and pattern. So I was pleasantly surprised by the range of prints available from The [...]

Draught Excluders – Keeping out the Cold

The combination of having recently moved house to an older Edwardian property and the onset of chillier weather has made me want to wage war on draughts.  There’s a range of products available from the effective to the decorative. I love the look of these retro Snake Draught Excluders.  They’re made from vintage fabric and [...]
